  • Local Planning Authority Position Statement
    FINAL APPROVED 23/12/2013 Cornwall Council and Perranuthnoe Parish Council Recent Housing Proposals 2013 Local Planning Authority Position Statement Perranuthnoe is a rural parish with a population of just over 2300 people. In the last year a number of larger scale housing sites have come forward in locations around a group of settlements in the Parish; namely Goldsithney, Perran Downs and Rosudgeon. The Government has stated a presumption in favour of sustainable development with emphasis on a plan led system supported by up to date evidence. Currently the development plan for the area is at a stage of transition with the former Penwith development plan being outdated and the emerging Cornwall Local Plan yet to be adopted. This transition between plans can cause uncertainty for all involved in the decision making process. Therefore this Local Planning Authority Position Statement presents current housing evidence and collates site specific information into one single document to give certainty and help to manage development in the area. The Position Statement has been compiled and approved by the LPA in close consultation with the local Parish Council and will be a material consideration in the determination of planning applications.1 Evidence of Recent Delivery and Current Housing Need Housing completion data shows a total of 53 affordable homes delivered over 22 years which is equal to an average of 2.4 units each year. During the period 2002 to 2013 a total of 25 affordable homes were provided and the majority of these (23 homes) where at Collygree Parc in 2007. Cornwall HomeChoice Register currently shows 84 households with a local connection to Perranuthnoe Parish.

  • Cetaceans of South-West England
    CETACEANS OF SOUTH-WEST ENGLAND This region encompasses the Severn Estuary, Bristol Channel and the English Channel east to Seaton on the South Devon/Dorset border. The waters of the Western Approaches of the English Channel are richer in cetaceans than any other part of southern Britain. However, the diversity and abundance declines as one goes eastwards in the English Channel and towards the Severn Estuary. Seventeen species of cetacean have been recorded in the South-west Approaches since 1980; nine of these species (32% of the 28 UK species) are present throughout the year or recorded annually as seasonal visitors. Thirteen species have been recorded along the Channel coast or in nearshore waters (within 60 km of the coast) of South-west England. Seven of these species (25% of the 28 UK species) are present throughout the year or are recorded annually. Good locations for nearshore cetacean sightings are prominent headlands and bays. Since 1990, bottlenose dolphins have been reported regularly nearshore, the majority of sightings coming from Penzance Bay, around the Land’s End Peninsula, and St. Ives Bay in Cornwall, although several locations along both north and south coasts of Devon are good for bottlenose dolphin. Cetaceans can also been seen in offshore waters. The main species that have been recorded include short- beaked common dolphins and long-finned pilot whales. Small numbers of harbour porpoises occur annually particularly between October and March off the Cornish & Devon coasts. CETACEAN SPECIES REGULARLY SIGHTED IN THE REGION Fin whale Balaenoptera physalus Rarer visitors to offshore waters, fin whales have been sighted mainly between June and December along the continental shelf edge at depths of 500-3000m.

  • 3.0 History and Development
    3.0 HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT 3.1 The History of Pendeen Early settlement in the area of Pendeen was made up of scattered farmsteads and hamlets lying below the hilly moors, set amongst extensive open commons and wastes and ancient farmlands leading down to the sea cliffs. By at least the 16th century, these hamlets were partly agricultural, partly fishing and partly industrial, with tin stream-working in the Boscaswell Downs/ Calartha/ Portherras area, and some coastal extraction. Mineral extraction and processing was, indeed, already creating considerable local wealth when the principal local manor house (Pendeen Manor), was rebuilt in 1670 by John Borlase, newly enriched by the profits on tin. However, it was the 1820's that saw the great expansion in the tin industry which was to create from this dispersed landscape of farms and hamlets recognisable villages (Pendeen/Lower Boscaswell). Apart from Geevor, most of the mines here were small or, like Boscaswell United Mine, intensely worked but short-lived, with the main period of working between 1820 and 1857. The majority closed in the 1870's tin crash and, except for Geevor, all mining activity in the immediate area ceased by the First World War. Mining shaped the history and landscape around Pendeen. The view from Carn Eanes shows the close proximity of Geevor (left of centre) and the mining coast line, including Levant Mine (right) to Pendeen Waterpower was always important in both extraction and processing of tin, and thus in the siting and make-up of local settlements. The numerous small, steep local streams were supplemented by complex leat systems that drove mines, stamping mills (those in the Portherras Valley were active in the 1870's, but gone by 1908) and an extensive system of 7 corn mills (especially the Rose Valley), a reflection of the continuing strength of local agriculture throughout this period.

  • Pendeen Lighthouse
    U.S. Lighthouse Society ~ Lighthouses of the United Kingdom Pendeen Lighthouse (Pendeen , St Just in Penwith, Cornwall) History For nearly 100 years Pendeen Lighthouse has been guiding passing vessels and warning of the dangerous waters around Pendeen Watch. From Cape Cornwall the coast runs NE by E towards the Wra, or Three Stone Oar, off Pendeen. From here the inhospitable shore continues for a further eight miles or so to the Western entrance of St. Ives Bay, the principal feature here being the Gurnards Head, on which many ships have come to grief. Until 1891 maritime safety off Pendeen depended more on activity after a wreck rather than effective prevention, the ʺAdmiralty Sailing Directionsʺ for that year being only able to report a ʺCoastguard Station where a rocket apparatus is keptʺ. The high cliffs along this sector of coastline prevented passing vessels from catching sight of either Trevose Head to the East or the Longships to the West; and so numbers of them, unable to ascertain their position, were lost, particularly on the groups of A NON-PROFIT HISTORICAL & EDUCATIONAL SOCIETY U.S. Lighthouse Society ~ Lighthouses of the United Kingdom sunken and exposed rocks near Pendeen Watch. Trinity House became increasingly concerned about this state of affairs as the nineteenth century drew to its close, and decided to erect a lighthouse and fog signal at Pendeen. Designs for the building were prepared by Sir Thomas Matthews, the Trinity House Engineer, their construction being undertaken by Arthur Carkeek, of Redruth, with Messrs. Chance, of Birmingham supplying the lantern. The buildings occupy a large area and before work could begin the cap of the Point had to be removed and the whole headland flattened, which necessitated the building of a huge retaining wall on the seaward side.

    Situated just beside the North Road at the Pendeen end, Wheal Hearle comprises two engine houses which were home to a ten inch winding engine and a thirty inch pumping engine. It was in production from about 1855 and, at its peak, employed just over one hundred men , women and boys. The mine appears to have been short lived with little reported after 1865.

  • West Penwith
    WEST PENWITH Within West Penwith, at the tip of Cornwall, there are geological exposures and examples of Devonian volcanism, granite emplacement, contact metamorphism, metasomatism, mineralization, both endo and exo- granitic, recent Quaternary geologic activity and past exploitation of mineral resources. The area has the famous St Just-Pendeen orefield on the north- western contact of the Land’s End granite. Porth Chapel Porth Chapel beach Sheeted veins Within a short distance along the exposure in the cliff at Porth Chapel beach can be seen in microcosm elements of the intrusion, mineralization and faulting history of West Penwith. The exposure illustrates at least two phases of granite intrusion with enclaves or xenoliths, granitic dyke intrusion, early sheeted vein mineralization tourmalinization and wall rock alteration, later copper mineralization and faulting. Copper mineralization Faulting Granitic dyke Nanjizal Nanjizal Cove looking northwest Geological exposures in the cove clearly illustrate that the granite was intruded as a series of sub horizontal sheets. The cove is cut by a fault, some 4m wide, which seawards forms a sea-cave and the granite has been altered by kaolinization. On the cliffs above is a small ancient open mine working for tin in a narrow tourmaline and quartz structure. Granite sheet Granite Sheet Fault Sennen to Portheras Cove The Tribbens Sennen Cove shore platform Enclave Enclave The area between Sennen and Land’s End on a shore platform known as the Tibbens has an excellent exposure of coarse-grained granite with xenoliths or enclaves. Enclaves or xenoliths are fragments of other rocks incorporated into the magma when being intruded.
